My opinion is there is not a problem running SATA drives. To be honest,
I manage a data facility and we have over 450 SCSI drives in the servers
hosted at the facility and SCSI drives fail too. I replace 1 to 2 SCSI
drives per calendar quarter. I run 42 SATA 1 drives in an Equallogic
SAN. This SAN has been online for 14 months and I have not lost a
single drive (these drives run 24x7x365) as the array is hosting several
large production SQL server databases and a large file repository that
receives over 3500 new files per day. That array never sleeps. So, as
far a Citrix is concerned, I wouldn't be concerned about running any of
the components from SATA disk drives. Just make sure you use sound RAID
design (as you would with SCSI drives too) for fault tolerance and you
should have no problems. keep a spare drive on the shelf or online as a
hot-spare if your RAID hardware supports hot spares.
Regards,
Rob

Subject: [THIN] Question re: SATA drives
My apologies if this is a repeat:
A client just asked me if there is any reason they cannot run Citrix AS4
on a server using SATA drives.
I have no idea - never tried, but cannot find anything regarding this
issue. Anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks-
Chris
